THE ENTOMOLOGIST'S WEEKLY INTELLIGENCER. 
medium of your columns, seems to me 
to be a great evil, and a gross abuse of 
your valuable space; and, worse still, it 
greatly depreciates tbe value of many a 
collection now in process of formation. 
It seems to me that tbe only system of 
distribution of duplicates which deserves 
support is a free ofl'er of spare insects, on 
condition of tbe receipt of a box and 
return postage, adding, if you think fit, 
a list of your desiderata, on the principle 
of “ scraps tliankfully received.” This, 
as I before hinted, need not preclude 
exchange between friends or private cor- 
respondents. But surely none but very 
“ green bands,” or old ones who are 
utterly careless as to tbe genuineness of 
their specimens, would venture to cor- 
respond with gentlemen (?) such as many 
of those with whose Indy liberal and 
advantageous offers your columns now 
literally teem. 
I beg to sign myself. 
Your obedient servant,
